MORE ABOUT THE ADIPoCERoUS CORPSE.
Undertaken Kregelo yesterday received let
ter from l.. 0. Milless, the Baltimore man who
claims the adipocerous corpse of his dead wife.
In the letter Mr.. Milless requests that the re-
mains be buried here, as he has not the money
remove them to Baltimore. Mr.. Kregelo
does not desire to bury the remains here for the
reason that he does not believe they would be
safe. Mr.. Kregelo is going through Baltimore
IN few weeks on q business trip, and will have
a personal interview with Mr.. Milless relative
to the disposition of the body. He has no doubt
now but that the Baltimore man is the real hus-
band of the dead woman.

CALIFORNIA EMIGRATION.

Some months ago movement was
put on foot helping the colored people
of the South to emigrate to Califor-
mia. as well as other western States.
Great inducements are offered by tn,
railroads, and unselfsh, intelligen,
agents may be found throughout the
South to give all desired information
Of the gold country. These agents
give glowing accounts of the country.
In the first place good living wages
is paid the laborer, and if he is any
ways economical and Industrious, he
can save something, and at the end of
a year or so can buy and furnish a
home.
Land can be secured by simply
going to it and settling on it. The
land is said to be much more fertile
and productive than ours, the climate
salubrius and well suited to our peo-
pie; in fact the inducements offered
are fattcring.
Should the colored man emigrate
West is an important question at this
time. He thinks he ought to have
better treatment and get better wages
for his labor than he gets in the
Southern States. Then. if he thinks
he can better his material condition
by going west, we do not hesitate to
give him the benefit of his thoughts,
and refer him to the actions of the
white man. The Irish, German, and
other people are coming to this coun-
t.y by thousands because in their
countries they think they are too many
Of them, and they will do better in the
new country. The Yankee and the
Jew are filling the business houses of
the south and west, and why not the
colored man go south, west, north,
and east, or any place he has reason
to think his condition will be bet
tered F.? The colored man must think,
move and work for himself; but let
him understand that he will not better
his condition by staying or going I'M
less he makes more than his bread
and practices economy-he must save
or he had better die.
If white men 90 west, and by set
Ting on this government land become
good and wealthy citizens, why can t
colored men do the same. The colored
man must stop renting land and be-
come owners of the soil. The tenant
system of the South has become worse
than that of Ireland. You can't find
a colored man in the South who has
made anything farming unless he
owned the land. Inasmuch as he can
not buy land in some sections of the
South, let him go where he can buy.
The condition of things must change,
and there is no need of longer dis
guising the fact.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

The Fourth of July is pretty generally
observed throughout the south ard the
day will grow more popular as time
passes. 1t should De the greatest day in
the calendar, for it revives memories
which should fill the American heart
with glory and pride. In the busy rush
of life, people who are enjoying the
blessings Of free government seldom
stop to inquire at what price these bless
ings were purchased, or by whom. Find
ing the government as it Is, at their
birth, they seem 20 imagine
that these things always ex-
listed and accept them as
8 matter of course, forgetting that it is
little more than century since a people
were found bold enough to proclaim and
fight for the detnronement of kings and 8
transfer of sovereignty to the people.
While America vas not the first republic
in NAME Sic WAS the first IN fsct; the
first to throw aside the cobwe0s Of pre-
iudice End hereditary msnworship, and
teach each citizen that in him resided as
much sovereignty inherently as in any
king; the first TO teach man 10
worship nothing but virtue and
to fear nothing but dishonor, and
the first to build sturdy manhood that
bowed not to kings, censors, tri5unes or
princes. In fact, the first TO clothe the
citizen in real liberty. Our young people
should be taught and reminded of these
things at least once every twelve months.
The Tidicule sometimes heaped upon
"spread eagle" speakers should not deter
men from sounding the glad tidings again
and again. The Declaration Of Indepen-
dence should be read and explained, to-
gether with the history of those illus
trious heroes whose names adcrn il,
and in this way keep alive the
fires of patriotism which should
burn brightly and necessarily. If
more attention were paid to the study of
our form Of government, its history and
early struggles, there would be fewer
Anglo msniacs and disconnected people
in our midst. a knowledge Of history
and fair comparison between this coun-
try and its government and other couu-
tries and their government will satisfy
anyone that it is good to be here and
misfortune to be elsewhere. It will con-
vince US that whatever faults we may find
or imagine, we find are the result of a po-
litical Gstheticism that thrives and exists
only where full civil liberty resides.
People should set apart this day at least
to study of our government and It's
blessings, Wars drive people together,
but this is not warning age. Love OF
country should be taught.

THAT NEGRO SCARE.
a Stop Put to the Secret Organization OF
Negroes In sOuth Carolina,

Z
Negroes In sOuth Carolina,
COLUMBIA, S. c., July 2-Reports of
the organization of the colored people in
/ Greenville, Laurens and Pickens counties
continue to pour in, and exaggerated
stories Of the alarm of the whites are cir
cuated. A prominent farmer Of the
region says Ii is not surprising. The
negroes started several small clubs in
kairYiew. Meetings were held at late
hours Of the night and with profound
secrecy. The white people heard of these
meetings and became uneasy. Their in
quiries were banied and surmises are SAID
to have become facts and the agitation
grew. The people OF Fairview are
frightened and nervous. Their young
men grew restless, and the women be-
came frightened at night, and then there
were symptoms of decentralization among
the farm laborers, and they proceeded to
get st the root of the trouble. They met
at FairvieW church yesterday and organ
lied and sent squad Of mounted men TO
the secretary of the nearest Hoover
club. He was found and required 20 sur
render the list of members and
a guard was sent for each of the seven
teen men in the club. Each member then
came promptly, An informal court was
organized, and the Hoover Society was
put on trial, the evidence of its member
ship being taken in writing. The negroes
were examined separately, and they coin
cided in the statement that they had been
induced to Join by promise Of the organ
izer that after July, rations would be is
sued to all members at half the present
prices Some of them had notions of strike
some time in the future for 81 8 day for
farm laborers, but they had no definite
time or place in view. One denied sol
EMMY that there was q word or thought !
against the landlords and white people. !
Most of them had been told if they re-
vesled anything about the society its be- |
nevolent plans would be destroyed and !
they would be arrested by me United |
States government. The folly Of the |
whole business was pointed out to them, |
2nd they were notified that |
the white people would not allow any |
such organization to exist secretly. Then |
they were sent home ight-hearted well !
pleased TO be out of trouble. The same
form was repeated at HopeWeu church,
three miles from Fountain Inn, twenty
one Hooyerites being arrested and ques-
toned with similar results, warned end .
released. About 100 armed white men
were present, but no harsh words were
used, and there was no excitement. The
sheriff and justice were present.
